Remember what Baha Hilo teaches us: “Oppression has failed to turn us into someone or something we are not.”

In these complicated times, let us put our arms around one another. Let us look for those who need to be held or lifted or loved into existence, loved into being, loved into a world full of hate.

Let us carry the stories that give us strength, the dreams that light our way, and the fierce hope that burns within.

May we remember that each step forward, no matter how small, adds to the great march toward justice.

May we find courage in our connections, wisdom in our waiting, and love in our listening.

Remember: Revolution is not a moment; it is a way of living.

Beloveds, we are the ones we have been waiting for.

Let us hold each other up as together we march into the revolution.

And always remember, you are loved beyond belief.

Rev. Jo
